I too enjoyed this post. I myself had been a member of a couple of large churches and one mega-church. My wife said she always felt like she was at a bus station. I prefer a church where those who go to church actually know my name. I went to a large 7k church for one year, joined the social groups. Met 2 people and one of them tried sellimg me Amway. LOL We recently moved back to Ohio and in our new church of 40 people, everyone knows us after 4 weeks. We have broken bread with many, and have ministered with all.

My name is Sheri & I was guided to this post by a kindred spirit who attends your church. As I read Lisa’s post I too am glad for the small church I attend. You see, many years ago (16 to be exact!) I attended a “Megga” church such as she described. I can attest to each of her points. It is sooo wonderful to worship in a place that you are a person and not a number, where you know EVERYONE who attends and don’t think people are visitors when they attend one of the other 3 services/morning than they usually do or have to have parking attendants w/lighted lights similar to those used by airports to guide the plane into the gate! It was great to reflect on those things she mentioned & those I remembered; to make me cherish the “warm, fuzzy” feeling I get when I have missed a week of worship and friends welcome you back “home”.

John,
I was just talking to a dear friend today about truth and grace. The two of them usually aren’t seen together. You can speak the truth but most often grace isn’t there. You can shower grace but how often do we speak the truth while doing it? Lisa’s writing contains both. I am priviledged to be her friend as well a part of this church family. Thanks for sharing it with others.
